On crows and gazelles

In the north-eastern corner of the pool, next to the food dishes for the birds, you can observe a fascinating behaviour – a competition for food between gazelles and crows.

The gazelles, arriving at the food dishes to snack on the food mixture, are attacked by the crows. Only when the crows finish their meal do they allow the gazelles to eat in peace. If you take a really good look, you can see the crows “taking turns”: one crow chases the gazelle away while another one enjoys its food at leisure.
